Childhood Obesity Facts

If you are a child's care taker you're probably aware of the growing concern in our country about overweight and obese children. Since 2003 studies have shown that on a whole the youth of America are increaingly becoming more overweight at an alarming rate. Studies show that since 1970 obesity has doubled in kids ages 12-19 and has tripled in ages 6-11.

It is clear that we must make a change to protect our children's future health. And that's what Get Kids In Action aims to do. Through education and smart nutrition practices we can live healthier both for ourselves and our kids. Please browse our site for info, tips, activities, meal plans and more that can help improve your child's health today, tomorrow and for the rest of their lives.

Another concern is being able to afford nutritious food for you children. If you are a low-income mother, we recommend you look into:
WIC and EBT. Another option is a federal assistance program called Aid to Families with Dependent Children. Good luck in your quest, and remember that the children are our future.
